Zack Snyder's Justice Leaɡue
Thousands of years ago, Darkseid and his legions of Parademons attempt to conquer Earth using the combined energies of the three Mother Boxes. The attempt was foiled by a unified alliance of the Olympian Gods, Amazons, Atlanteans, and humans, with assistance from a Green Lantern. After the alliance repelled Darkseid's army, the Mother Boxes were separated and hidden in different locations. In the present, Superman's death has triggered the Mother Boxes' reactivation and the appearance of Steppenwolf, one of Darkseid's servants, on Earth. Steppenwolf aims to regain favor with his master by gathering the boxes to form The Unity.
Steppenwolf retrieves one Mother Box from Themyscira, prompting Queen Hippolyta to warn her daughter Diana, who informs Bruce Wayne. Bruce, who has been looking to form a team with several metahumans, such as Arthur Curry, without success, then goes to recruit Barry Allen, while Diana locates Victor Stone. Barry joins up instantly while Victor, after initially refusing, later joins after his father Silas and several other S.T.A.R. Labs employees are kidnapped by Parademons seeking the Mother Box protected by humanity. Steppenwolf attacks an Atlantean outpost to retrieve their Mother Box, forcing Arthur into action.
The team receives intel from Commissioner James Gordon, leading them to Steppenwolf's army in an abandoned facility under Gotham Harbor. Although the group rescues the kidnapped employees, the facility is flooded during combat, which traps the team until Arthur helps delay the flood so they can escape. Victor retrieves the last Mother Box, which he had hidden, for the group to analyze. He reveals that Silas used the Mother Box to rebuild his body after a car accident in which Victor's mother was killed. He also reveals that the Mother Boxes are "change machines" that unfaltering enforce the will of their master, destroying or restoring to life without bias. The group decides to use the Mother Box to resurrect Superman to help them fight off Steppenwolf's invasion. Superman's body is exhumed by Barry and Victor and placed in the amniotic fluid of the genesis chamber in the Kryptonian scout ship kept in the S.T.A.R. Labs, along with the Mother Box which Barry activates, successfully resurrecting Superman. However, Superman's memories have not returned, and he attacks the group after Victor accidentally launches an attack at him. Lois Lane, who has been regularly visiting Superman's memorial, arrives in time to calm Superman down. Together, they leave for his family home in Smallville, where he regains his memories and reunites with his mother, Martha.
Steppenwolf attacks S.T.A.R. Labs and retrieves the last Mother Box, though Silas manages to supercharge the Box with laser heat at the cost of his own life, allowing Victor to deduce its location by tracing the residual heat. Without Superman, the five heroes travel to where Steppenwolf aims to unite the Mother Boxes. The team fights their way through the Parademons to reach the Mother Boxes but cannot distract Steppenwolf enough for Victor to separate the Mother Boxes. Superman arrives and overpowers Steppenwolf but the Boxes merge to form The Unity, causing a massive explosion. Barry enters the Speed Force and reverses time, allowing Superman and Victor to separate the Mother Boxes. Arthur stabs Steppenwolf, and Diana decapitates him, throwing his body through a portal to Darkseid's planet, Apokolips. Darkseid assures his servant DeSaad he will return to Earth to complete his quest for the Anti-Life Equation.
